I guess we've seen all that before.

Tonight she stares to the darkness,

Welcomes it back home again.

She'll cry every night til the day that she dies

Spend my nights in wild romances and hold on to what's

Holdin' on to me.

Now doesn't this all seem familiar,

You said I took the words from your mouth.

Maybe if we sit and talk for awhile,

A couple more drinks and I'll be on my way,

Sleeping and down, safe in your arms again.
